Abstract

Atomic magnetometry is a sensitive method that directly measures
magnetic flux density. A new magnetometric gradiometer based on
nonlinear magneto-optical effects was recently constructed. Several applications will
be discussed, including tracking of individual magnetic microparticle in large amount
of sample, superparamagnetic nanoparticles detection, and applications in nuclear
magnetic resonance.
